Nature inspires my paintings. I use my art to record a dualistic story. It journals my thoughts on the subject, and how it relates to my life. Ancient Chinese art philosophies underpin the thought process and execution of my art. I reflect on the subject of my painting to find its ch’i [氣], the breath of energy that flows through it. I seek to transfer its spirit into my art. I want to give it a new life as I paint, while also balancing it with my subjective self, the feelings that arise as I think about my experiences and nature. My abstract art blends acrylic Chinese painting colors with spilled ink on paper. I observe the form it takes. Using Chinese calligraphy brushes, I exaggerate the shapes, colors and free-flowing lines of the spilled ink and paint. I often use a dry brush and allow the art to partially dry before adding another layer and repeating the process. Influenced by the goals and aesthetics of Impressionism, detailed brushwork augments the balance of light and shade. I also employ white space and fragmentation to deepen the mystery and encourage the imagination.
